Changelog

logcheck (1.2.51) unstable; urgency=medium

  * medium urgency to increase the chance of making etch as per agreement with
    Steve Langasek, release manager. Rationale: arch-indep and only new
    regexps in this version.

  * violations.d/kernel: added to elevate messages about media errors.
  * violations.ignore.d/kernel: ignore some non-critical messages by device
    drivers, such as USB stuff.

    cards.

    webmin bandwidth module/shorewall (closes: #397580).

    packets, which aren't generated by default.

    hotplugged storage devices.

    messages.

    initializing.
  * ignore.d.{workstation,server}/kernel: moved several messages to server
    class as they also apply to servers.

  * violations.ignore.d/logcheck-su: ignore redundant message about
    authentication failure, which provides no additional information.

    message about index files that failed to download.

    to syncing of new slave zones.

  * violations.ignore.d/logcheck-ssh: ignore authentication error messages by
    pam_unix: if there's no user name, the attempt is pathetically harmless
